Ignis. Fire.

A woodcut illustration depicting scenes of fire and fire-making. In the background, visible through a window, is a volcano (8) erupting with smoke and ash. In the foreground, a table holds several objects: a steel striker (1), a flint (2), a tinderbox (3), and sulfur matches (4). A candle (5) in a candlestick burns on the table. To the right, a large chimney or fireplace (10) contains burning logs (6) and active flames (9). Small numbers corresponding to the text and vocabulary are scattered throughout the image.
